I am the translator of most of N.Wisdom\'s films into Albanian. His films were among the very few that were not censured. By mid 80s, my dear friend Mira Shuteriqi (Blushi), Foreign Relations Director of the Albanian TV (the only TV station in Albania at that time)met with one of his personal friends in Cane Film Festival and extended him an invitation to visit Albania. He could not realize it until the mid 90s. The second time he visited Albania was with an English soccer team.

He did not speak a word of Albanian and I don\'t know if he ever tried to learn Albanian.

I hope this will help.

I do remember Norman Wisdom\'s movies quite well since he was one of the few comedians whose movies were allowed in Albania during communism. He was known by most Albanians as \"Pitkini\" with some of his famous movies such as \"Pitkini ne dyqan\" (Pitkin at the store) \"Pitkini ne spital\" (Pitkin in the hospital) etc.

I found the following link from BBC news which talks more about his visit to Albania and his participation in soccer games. Here it is:
